Why Is the Sun a Star
... Why Is the Sun a Star? The Sun is the center of our Solar System. It is so massive that its strong gravity attracts all the planets and their moons, comets, asteroids and meteors into orbit around it. Its light provides Earth with 99% of all the energy used on our planet and we see its reflected lig ...
